Why Choose a Hasami Ware Matcha Bowl?
Hasami ware (波佐見焼, Hasami-yaki) has been produced in Hasami town, Nagasaki Prefecture, for over 400 years and is often referred to as the people’s porcelain for its deep roots in everyday life. Unlike many Japanese pottery traditions centered on a fixed visual style, Hasami ware developed as practical tableware, which helps explain its enduring popularity in Japan today.
Hasami porcelain is typically fired at high temperatures, giving it a hard, non-porous surface that is resistant to stains and breaking. Rather than being made by one artisan alone, it is traditionally produced through a highly skilled division-of-labor system, with specialists overseeing each stage from clay preparation and molding to glazing and firing. The result is ceramic ware that feels quietly elegant, technically accomplished, and made to be enjoyed often.
How to Care for Your Raku Pottery Matcha Bowl
Raku ware is known for its rough surface, which can be quite porous. Before you first use your matcha bowl, it is recommended to medome (“fill the eyes”) of your bowl. To do this, stir a cup of rice in some lukewarm water until the rice starch turns the water cloudy. Submerge your bowl in this starchy water to allow the rice powder to soak into the miniscule holes in the clay. After about 15 minutes, remove your bowl, give it a quick rinse, a thorough dry, and let it sit for 24 hours or so for the starch to set.
To clean your bowl, wash in warm water, avoiding soap unless necessary. Do not place your bowl in the dishwasher, and do not leave soaking. Be sure to dry the bowl thoroughly before putting it away.
Raku bowls are made from soft absorbent clay, so avoid using your bowl for strong-smelling or acidic foods, and be careful not to scratch with knives and other metal tools. .
